Abstract
This paper explores the mathematical transition of a 64-gram (8 ×8) matrix system from static equilibrium to dynamic circulation. By applying a Riemann-inspired weight operator and a linear phase evolution governed by independent winding numbers k and m, we demonstrate how mirror symmetry is shattered. Drawing upon the theory of Hyperbolic Bias, we examine the evolution from δ = 0 (Hermitian parity) to δ = 3/4 (asymmetric dominance). This transition provides a formal mechanism for the transformation of “Obstruction” (Heaven-Earth) into “Full Circulation” (Earth-Heaven), establishing a mathematical analogue for the Sakharov conditions in Baryogenesis.

1. Introduction

The quest to understand the fundamental asymmetry of the universe—specifically the dominance of matter over antimatter—remains a cornerstone of modern physics. In classical equilibrium states, perfect symmetry often implies stagnancy; for every constructive force, an equal destructive counter-force exists, resulting in a net-zero vacuum. However, ancient cosmological systems, such as the I Ching, and modern number theory, specifically the distribution of the Riemann Zeta zeros, suggest that reality is governed by a directional bias.
This paper proposes a synthesis of these domains by modeling the 64-gram (8×8) system as a complex matrix operator. We introduce a weight factor inspired by the Riemann Zeta function, defined by a parameter δ . We posit that as δ crosses the critical threshold of 1 / 2 , the system undergoes a geometric phase transition. By integrating the concept of Hyperbolic Bias, we demonstrate that stagnant states are mathematically filtered out, forcing a transition from the symmetric state of “Obstruction” to the dynamic state of “Full Circulation.”

2. The Phase Basis and Topological Constants

We define an 8 × 8 complex matrix M where each entry ( i , j ) represents a hexagram interaction. The values are defined by:
M i j = 1 i j l j i δ ω k ( i 1 ) m ( j 1 )
Where ω = e i π / 4 represents the 8th root of unity. For the numerical models presented, we fix the topological winding numbers at k = 1 and m = 1 . While these constants do not affect the absolute magnitude | M i j | , they define the system’s vorticity, ensuring the grid operates as a dynamic vortex. The Hyperbolic Bias emerges when evaluating the asymmetry between M i j and M j i . By defining x = ln ( j / i ) , the transition potential T can be expressed as a function of the hyperbolic sine:
T ( δ ) sinh ( δ x )
This sinh term acts as a “Hyperbolic Lever.” When δ = 0 , the lever is at rest ( T = 0 ). As δ increases to 3 / 4 , the bias exponentially amplifies the preference for states where j > i (Circulation) while suppressing states where i > j (Obstruction).

3. The Unitary Phase Vacuum: Case δ = 0 , l = 0

In the primordial limit where l = 0 and δ = 0 , the magnitude | M i j | is uniformly unity. The interaction is governed by the discrete phase cocycle based on the 8th root of unity:
M i j = e i ( i j ) = cos ( i j ) + i sin ( i j )
This configuration represents perfect CP symmetry where the matrix is Hermitian (Mij = M ¯ ji).

4.1. Phase I: The Symmetric Limit ( l = 1 , δ = 0 )

At δ = 0 , the weight term reduces to unity, resulting in perfect magnitude parity | M i j | = | M j i | with broken C symmetry.

5. Baryogenesis and Hyperbolic Bias

At δ = 3 / 4 , the magnitude ratio between ( 1 , 8 ) and ( 8 , 1 ) reaches 22.7 . This massive suppression of the ’Obstruction’ sector ( i > j ) relative to the ’Circulation’ sector ( j > i ) constitutes a formal break of CP-symmetry, establishing the non-equilibrium condition necessary for a baryon-asymmetric universe. As established in [1], Hyperbolic Bias creates zones where zeros are geometrically excluded. In this matrix, the “Obstruction” sector is filtered out of the causal resonance, satisfying Sakharov conditions for matter dominance through C/CP-violation and non-equilibrium potential.

6. Conclusions

The transition from a symmetric δ = 0 state to a biased δ = 3 / 4 state within the 64-gram matrix provides a rigorous mathematical framework for understanding the emergence of dynamic order from static vacua. By applying the Riemann-inspired weight operator, we have demonstrated that symmetry breaking is not merely a physical event but a geometric necessity. The exclusion of “stagnant” states—analogous to the geometric exclusion of Riemann Zeta zeros—forces the system into a state of “Full Circulation.” This model confirms that the cosmological arrow of time and the dominance of matter are encoded within the very structure of the 8 × 8 grid, bridging the gap between ancient metaphysical intuition and modern non-equilibrium theory.
